Seniors

We have a lot of time for our seniors in Weymouth and Portland - there are lots of things to join, including lunch clubs, holiday clubs, trips out and much more - and we value your skills so there are lots of opportunities to volunteer, too - just find a contact on the Refesh website and make contact ......

A lunch club takes place for the over 50's. It is held every other Friday, with a break at Easter, during the summer and Christmas. It is an opportunity for members of the parish to get together for a communal meal.

It currently costs £4 for a 2 course meal with a drink.

For more details, or to put your name down, contact the parish office.

We are a group of over 60s who meet at St Paul’s church hall. Our ages range from 60 to 94 years. We call ourselves St Paul’s Recycled Teenagers.

Our meetings are held 1.45pm – 4.00pm every Wednesday afternoon, with the aim being for people to socialise and find friendship. Our activities start with a social chat and a look at our bring and buy sale. Also, a look at our notice board to read the latest information. We then have a game of bingo, after which we have a cup of tea or squash and a biscuit break. Then we have a quiz, a raffle and a numbers draw where if lucky one picks a number and could win a money prize, we then continue with a game of bingo.

We have extra monthly activities, coach trips, for example to a meal and show in the New Forest, a trip to Bourton-on-the-Water and a meal at the Crown Hotel for Christmas. We have been to Longleat, on a mystery tour, a canal trip on the Kennet & Avon, Babbacombe Model Village and Torquay, world of country life.

We have some members who tell us that the club is a lifeline to them and do not like to miss the meeting, so I feel that it is a good outreach for Westham and the extended area. We also have a member who comes in a wheelchair and this in no problem to us. Also, some come with walkers and sticks.
